             Summary: Control REST resource generation to allow entities to be sent in response to POST request
                 Key: FORGE-1361
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1361
             Project: Forge
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Blessed Plugins
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.Beta3, 1.4.3.Final
            Reporter: Vineet Reynolds


The generated REST resources always issue a HTTP 201 Response with a Location header in response to a HTTP POST. Some clients expect the response to contain an entity representation of the newly created resource. Therefore, we should allow users to control whether they want the entity to feature in the response.

This would require:
* the method be annotated with @Produces with the mediatype being the chosen resource representation.
* the entity() method be invoked to populate the entity in the response.
